Here are the toots from my Mastodon account. If you’re into ham radio and technology this is a great inclusive server with an awesome mascot called Alex.

It's Alex! A soft brown mastodon holding a handheld radio in their right hand and carrying a blue bag over their shoulder

Great to see The Dork Web’s recent radio content – https://thedorkweb.substack.com/p/the-dork-web-missing-links

This is one of my favourite newsletters at the moment, check it out if you like deep dives into miscellaneous nerdery (you know you do!).

It also mentions @DC7IA@chaos.social’s ham list, which is great 👌

Really enjoyed the bits of the GQRP online convention I made it to and looking forward to the recordings of the rest.

Some sessions had close to 300 people in attendance!

Great news, the GQRP convention will be making recordings available after the weekend.

Pretty sure I can’t be at my computer from Saturday, 5 September 2020 at 10:00 - Sunday, 6 September 2020 at 19:0, so that’s perfect!

The maintainer of hamlib has asked for bug reports/feedback on whether a number of rigs (marked alpha, beta and untested) work with WSJT-X.

There’s a list at: https://sourceforge.net/p/wsjt/mailman/message/37062608/

Well, I clicked the button to “tax” my car. Even though there’s no fee! And actually I’ve not really used it much for months now.
